Actually, now that you explained it, Josh, I'm inclined to agree with you. It does work better the other way. Plus the extra scene is unimportant anyway, so axing it isn't a big loss.

Davis DVD is reporting that this, along with Almost Heroes and a few other Warner catalogue titles I can't currently recall, is being released on August 30th in anamorphic widescreen (1.85) and its trailer.

Instead of august 30th, Amazon is listing the availability as "Release date to be announced:The release date for this video has not been finalized."

Uh oh. Did this get yanked? Anyone know?

I think so. It's on my Netflix queue listed in the Saved section as "Unknown" (release date).

DDD no longer has a listing for it. DVD Planet has it listed as Discontinued. Buy.com has a date of 12/29/06. :(

SON OF A BITCH!!!! This was one of the very few DVDs I needed to get!! Along with My Neighbor Totoro, this really sucks!!

Dammit! This better not be getting pushed back to fall '06! There's no reason it should have been unavailable on DVD this long as is.

God damn it all to hell. I was really excited for this one. I wonder what the hell happened and how long it will take until they fix it. I need more Murray!

Worst DVD news I've had in a long time! :(

Now Totoro isn't going to be out until 2006. With my luck this one will likely turn out the same.

this is bullshit esp because i ebay'd my vhs copy

What do you want to bet they're holding off so they can release it to tie in with Murray's BROKEN FLOWERS. It's getting good buzz, and with an acting nomination for Murray, they can piggy-back on the marketing of its DVD release and get more sales for QUICK CHANGE.

I've had this pre-ordered for MONTHS from DDD. This is truly rotten news.

SHO ran this once in HD a few months ago and I was lucky enough to grab a copy of it.

I suppose I'll have to remove this item from my last amazon order now, which was scheduled to ship on Aug. 30.

Amazon just sent me quite the amusing e-mail:

2010!? Someone is going to pay for this!

That's a bunch of bullshit. I bet it's not even a Tuesday.

HAHAHHHAAHAHAHAAHHA!!! rotfl

"Restrictions apply"

Hey, when they release it in 2010, it'll be an HD DVD! :banana:

In 2010, 11.23 won't even be enough to buy a can of soda.

Also in 2010, 11.23 won't be enough to buy a gallon of gas......wait a minute...I meant 2006, not 2010.... ;)

We'll be watching all our movies in our sunglasses in 2010!!

www.dvdempire.com is still listing the August release date....

So you're saying I can only get this movie if I order from them? :)

This just happened with another film that I have been waiting for. A Fine Mess with Howie Mandel and Ted Danson was supposed to be released on DVD Aug 2 and when the 2nd came around no retailers had it, and was listed as discontinued on any websites that still had it listed. Quick Change and A Fine Mess were the last two VHS tapes I own and was looking forward to getting rid of. Does anyone know if Quick Change and A Fine Mess are from the same studios? Anybody have any clue why this happened?

Because God hates you. Sorry. Somebody had to tell you.

WRONG! I AM AN AETHIEST, SCIENCE HATES ME!

I second that.

May just have to order it and find out...

ugh.

Why can't releasing a dvd just be simple?

Just release it and see if it sells. If not, stop printing them and move on. When studios pull tricks like this, it just makes them look silly. There is always a market for movies with Bill Murray, wether it be now or later, people will be interested in what he has/does do as an actor.

So just release it and not make this seem like a science project.

RIGHT ON! A lot of the etailors have quick change listed as being released on December 29, 2006. Hopefully 12/29/06 and 1/1/10 are both wrong dates and its being released a lot sooner.

Just officially canceled my amazon order for this, since it now actually says 2010 as the release date on the site. What a shame. Someone really dropped the ball on this one.

so why did someone drop the ball, or "pull tricks like this".
tricks like what?

it was announced, they changed there mind or something happened between now and when it was announced preventing the release.

get over it.
it'll get released eventually.

i wanted it to but there must be some reason not to release it now.
you people are acting like they did it on purpose to get under your skin.

It kind of seems like it, doesn't it? They have their reasons, nobody here has to agree with their reasons though.

We all buy the dvds they produce!

We shall see when it is eventually released.

That's all fine, but what exactly could possible cancel or delay the release? You must admit it smells fishy. I think if a DVD is cancelled for no apparent reason the people who have been looking forward to it have a right to be at least disappointed.

Damn Straight! :)

no doubt.

doesnt smell fishy.

there is no conspiracy.

what do think is going on?
some suits in an office are laughing, "we're sure fooled them, didnt we!"
snickering wih their hand over their mouth.

Well then just get the piece of shit on dvd. What could possibly be the snag?
